💡 Final Advice for International Traders
Only invest what you can afford to lose.
These tokens are speculative, meme or game-based, and not backed by real-world assets or strong use cases (yet).
Use trusted exchanges.
Stick with Binance, Gate.io, Bybit, or major DEXes like PancakeSwap or TON-integrated platforms.
Watch for ecosystem growth.
For HMSTR, look for Layer-2 development updates and game adoption. For HAM, community activity is the key indicator.
Avoid FOMO.
Sudden airdrops or "early listing" hype can trigger pump-and-dump cycles.
